great.

if you open your test addin project and set it to debug (not release) you will see in the "start" properties the devenv.exe /resetaddin call for your addin

it is probably "MyAddin1.Connect". whatever it is you can run it from command line or follow the visual micro resetaddin instruction but using your addin and primary class name as shown above.

alternatively comment out the vs code that creates the tools menu item and start>debug which will run the reset but not add a new menu item

let me know if this doesn't make sense

Hello i have a similar problem hope somebody can helps.

I get the message from VS that the AddOn cant be loaded.

Checking the AddInsecurity, and the AddOn-Manager everything seems OK.
I installed Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 new, but i have the same result.
I use Office 2003 SP 3 and Win XP Prof with a up-to-date patch level.



Any idea?

Hello,

yes i did a complete installation with all programming languages.

I use the german version, but i think that`s not really a problem or?

That`s the complete Error Message:

Microsoft Visual Studio

Thanks for letting us know. 

I would like to confirm that what you did was safe. I always run fully paid and up to date virus prevention and the software does not install any other components than those found in the selected install folder. If the addin software is downloaded from the VisualMicro.Com site or visualmicro.codeplex then it is safe.
